Your frequent reminder not to cycle up the inside of large vehicles, especially when there's any possibility they may turn left.

Two silly cyclists at the end not paying attention and recreating the motor vehicle collision 🤦‍♂️

What a silly cyclists. Be clear with your intentions and dominate your space, that way others can read what you are planning to do. I think the rider doesn’t know the area, saw the cycle marking (which is the route for a crossing from one side of the road to the other) and went
We all make mistakes, just a “sorry” would have done !

What on earth are these silly cyclists doing? Playing tag cycling? Around unsuspecting pedestrians? Completely the wrong image. Like a car advert depicting driving fast in a city. teapaw.org/cargobikeben/status/17…

Silly cyclists don’t get anywhere when jumping red lights. *they likely got further than they would have if they waited at red lights.
Catching two red light jumping cyclists! And in the process, also being faster than motorists.

Interval training is a good way to increase your fitness. And with that comes the ability to sustain speed for longer. Note the rider here isn’t going that fast, often slowed down by traffic.

Silly cyclist gets pulled over by the cops for what is assumed various offences. Does the filming road user go through the red light too? teapaw.org/ChaponaBike123/status/…

Don't be a Silly Cyclist. React to @SillyMotorists by braking, not holding your hands up, and being unable to avoid a collision. teapaw.org/i/status/1750269996544…

Good. In some cases some might argue that it is safer to go through a red light than wait. In this case, it appears less about safety and maybe more about saving time.
#VanguardRST stopped these 4 cyclists in Esher after they were observed contravening a red traffic light. FPN's issued to all. #vulnerableroadusers #fatal5

Don’t be a silly cyclist. When you can’t see the road ahead of the vehicle in front, take my caution, leave more space, brake a little harder.

A @sillycyclists and a @SillyMotorists collided, who's at fault? They say opposites attract, but this is taking it too far 🚴‍♂️💥🚘

This is what we call a Silly Cyclist! Positioned to the right of the lane puts you in a position of danger, vehicles turning in to the junction won't expect you there, thus putting yourself at risk to those turning into the junction without proper observations.

And of course, not giving way to the pedestrian who is crossing is a down mark.

When a motorist takes a bike ride. A classic Must Get In Front move. Why overtake when you are about to turn left?

Also silly for their cornering technique. It luckily gave me a clue right away they were about do something silly. However, you should really corner whilst seated and with your outside foot pointing down. This gives you the most control and avoids pedal strike if you are leaning

What a Silly Motorists. Passing a cyclist closely, whilst on the brakes, and then staying on the brakes. Why bother overtaking?

Don’t be a @sillycyclists by cutting across another road user as they are setting off.
Holding your speed into a bend as people are just starting off is a recipe for disaster. This isn't uncommon at this junction at the end of Vauxhall Bridge. Lesson of the day: Keep an eye all around when setting off.
